linamagama amaningi.

4 Uma wenza isifungo kuNkulunkulu ungephuzi ukusifeza, ngokuba akazithokozeli iziwula. Sifeze isifungo sakho.

5 Kungcono ukungasenzi isifungo kunokuba ufunge kodwa ungafezi.

6 Umlomo wakho mawungakuholeli esonweni, ungasho phambi kwesithunywa ukuthi lokho kuliphutha. Kungani uNkulunkulu ewathukuthelela amazwi akho, abhubhise umsebenzi wezandla zakho na?

9 Impumelelo yezwe isenkosini enakekela ukulinywa kwamasimu.

10 Othanda imali akaneliswa yiyo;

nothanda ingcebo akaneliswa yinzuzo ayitholayo,

nalokho kuyize.

11 Uma impahla yanda, bayanda nabayidlayo;

13 Ngibone ububi obudabukisayo phansi komthunzi welanga; ingcebo egcinwe ngumniniyo imlethela usizi.

14Lowo mcebo walahleka

ngendlela embi,

ngisho nendodana ayizalayo

15 Njengalokhu umuntu

esizalweni sikanina,

kanjalo nalapho esehamba,

uyohamba enjalo,

akukho lutho

ayohamba nalo esandleni.

16 Nalokho kungububi obudabukisayo;
